Abstract

The present paper deals with Effect of Phytohormones on seed germination of Abrus precatorius L (Fabaceae).The seed has characteristic dormancy. The ecological factors often influence the germination and growth. The seeds were subjected to different phytohormones such as Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Gibberelic acid (GA) and effect on germination was examined at constant room temperature of 30±2?C. The effects of the hormones are promontory under low concentration of 1 and 5 ppm but higher concentration exhibited retarding effect for both scarified and uncertified seeds. Our result shows the identical behavior in many respects, differences do exists in the growth and performances in many respects and confirming differential adaptabilities and fit to be considered as distinct environmental sites.
